I was conducting 4 years ago a polling survey for a political party in Oslo nocking on doors and asking people opinion of recent or planned changes in the city. I was surprised how many car owners supported bans on parking on the streets and making bicycle lines instead. It decreased traffic jams.

Basically, people started to park in big parking garages with good connections to main roads. Surely it required more time to walk. But then one spends much less time finding a place to park. And traffic from/to small roads were a significant contribution to jams.

It's funny seeing the behavioral differences in communally oriented societies vs idiosyncratic societies. This kind of proposal would never work in USA or India, but I could see it work in Japan and Korea.
